Natural daylight is one of the best sources of lighting, especially on a slightly overcast day. Experiment with blurring the background of your photos by adjusting aperture.

Slowing down your shutter speed can help create blur to convey the idea of motion, while a fast shutter speed will capture motion in freeze frame.

"Look for genuine interaction," says Rich. "By using a longer lens, I was able to step away from my father and my daughter to capture this more intimate moment. But be patient. Take your time."

Crouch down, lie on the floor, or climb on something to create more interesting images.

Don’t be afraid to turn on your camera's burst mode to help you capture the perfect action shots.

"Focus your lens at its minimum focus distance and force yourself to find images that are close to the camera," explains Rich. Fill the frame.

Look for reflections on tabletops, counters and glass to add interest to your images. "Alter your camera angle to find the reflection," says Rich. "Often these are very subtle moves."

Make sure to shoot with a wide aperture to blur the foreground and draw the eye to your subject.

The little things can say a lot about the bigger picture. "Look for the small parts - images that help tell a more complete story," advises Rich.

Our most memorable moments are often those we spend with those we love. Practice capturing these special moments that make up your day to day.
